iM^re Popular Hardy Perennial Plants 



The beauty of the perennial border depends on using a wide va- 

 riety of plants to insure flowers from earliest spring until late fall 

 in a sufficiently large color range to give an interesting change from 

 month to month. 



The varieties we offer have proved to fill this need, and the way 

 they are presented makes it easy for any gardener to plan the peren- 

 nial border for a continuity of flowers from spring to frost with any 

 color predominating.
